Each one's right to drink being established (by turns). 28 But they called their commander, who seized and hamstrung her. 29 So how dreadful have been My torment and My warnings. 30 Behold, We sent a single Blast against them, and they became like the trampled twigs of a sheep pen-builder. 31 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 32 The people of Lot rejected Our warning. 33 Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn 34 As a reward from Us; this is how We reward one who gives thanks. 35 And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt the warnings. 36 And certainly they endeavored to turn him from his guests, but We blinded their eyes; so taste My chastisement and My warning. 37 Indeed an abiding chastisement came upon them in the morning. 38 Taste then My torment and My warnings. 39 And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind? 40
